Picture dictation is like a picture really, here is an example: a teacher could be describing a picture or a scene, and the students have to draw, there are more many examples to find out what Picture Dictation is, the aim of picture dictation is to listen close, the drawing should be quick. Here is another example of Picture Dictation: Maybe you are reading a story and you have to draw one of the scene in the story, this drawing of the scene can include a word.
Our teacher told us to do picture dictation about the story we read called "Benny!" We had to fold our piece of paper into thirds and it gives us 6 spaces in our paper, and whatever scene it is first we have to draw it in the first box we had in our paper!
What is Role on the Wall?
Role on the wall is an outline of a body that is drawn into a sheet of paper, then students or you, have to write inside the drawing or the outside of the drawing with words or phrases about you or about a character you have in mind. (Here is a picture of what it can be)
What is an Iceberg?
You might be thinking the iceberg in real life but in drama it is an outline of an iceberg, on top of the iceberg you or have to write what people think about you or what the other characters think about that main character. I think you get what I mean right?
What is Hot Seating?
Hot Seating is where you ask people open questions not closed questions. Its interviewing a character or like just asking them open questions. Here is an example of an open question: Why did you choose that answer?
We had an activity in drama, we had to form a doughnut shape, then the people who were inside the doughnut had to ask the people that were in the outside of the doughnut open questions.
Other Task:
(Write 5 questions you would like to ask Benny, I or the Mum)
Here are my 5 questions, me and my buddies made this:
1. How did you feel when Benny walked out?
2. How did you feel when Benny pushed in the water?
3. Why do you think Benny said "I'm not stupid!?"
4. What happened next after Benny left?
Here is a video were we had to act and ask questions to one main character! I was grouped with Liyah, Artee, Zoe!
( This link is the video, I could not show it here because it's not letting me add it to my blog! )
Writing In Role:
Dear Benny, I am so sorry about what happened at the beach a week ago, I just couldn't resist just ignoring you after you walked out on me, are you mad at me? I am sorry, but I don't know why you said "I'm not stupid!" These words you said had been bugging me ever since, I hope you can forgive me.
Sincerely I.
